My invention relates to devices intended for the use of auditors in checking items from rolls that are accumulated as secret records in manifolding machines. The device may have other uses, but is particularly adapted -for the use recited. i

In Vdevices of the character -in question, there are a number of requirements. In the first place the device must be of simple and .inexpensive struc-ture. In the next place, the mounting-of rolls of paper therein, and the manipulation of the device must be simple. Finally the paper must be brought in a fairly taut condition over a support which presents it in easily legible position, and at the same time permits of making check marks or notations on the checks forming part of the roll' of paper.

These various requirements are provided for, as the several ob] ectives of my invention, and I accomplish my objects by that certain construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically pointed outand claimed, wherein, among other things I provide a rewind roll, of demountable nature' that serves as an excellent paper winding roll in a wide variety of paper winding machines.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of the rewinder. Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a detail lside elevation of the rewind drum device.

Figure 4 is an end elevation of the rewind drum and ldetachable disk.

Figure 5 is a detail view showing the drum as used for a driven rewind in a manifolding machine.

The framework ofthe device is formed of a plate formed up to provide two lower ends 1, 1, to which are secured feet 2 of any usual type. The plate is bent up in the middle to form a paper support 3, which is preferably flat, and of the length of the portion of 4a form length of the paper roll, the notations on which the auditor will want to examine and check.

The paper is indicated at 4, and the forms at 5.

0 For roll'supports I provide preferably four metal strips bent to form feet 6`that are i soldered, riveted or spot welded onto the ends 1 of the plate, and to form uprights 7, which have spindle receiving .notches 8 in their upper ends. Mounted on the sides of the uprights are springs 9 formed in S-shape at the upper end and lying so as to block the notches. When a spindle is thrust down into the notches the springs give way and then snap back over the tops of the spindles.

The paper will come from the manifolding machine on some forni of spindle, indicated at 10, which is set between two of the uprights at one end of themachine.

The rewind device is built up as follows. A drum 11, which may be of tough paper, wood ori metal, is equipped at the ends with plugs 12 and 13.

In the form used in my particular device,

the drum has a large disk 14 secured fast at one end, said disk having a collar 15 which is forced over the end of the plug 12. 'The plug 12 has a handle 16 secured fast therein, as by soldering or otherwise, so that by revolving the handle, the drum is revolved.

Ihe lu 13 at the other end of the drum is provide with. a projecting pin 17 serving as a spindle, While the end of the handle inserted into the plug 12 serves as the other spindle.

There is provided a disk 18 formed with a.

collar 19, that is fitted to slide over the end of the plug 13 and the plug 13 has a notch 13a in its periphery which is engaged by an inwardly extending pin 19a mounted in the collar 19 of the said disk 18. y

The disk 18 will also have fastfthereon a laterally extending rod 20, which when the disk is set over the plug 13, will lie along the drum, and serve as means for engaging the end ofthe paper strip, so that it will not slip on the drum when rewinding it.

To set up the rewinding device', the disk 18 is set in place, as described with the pin and notch 19a and 13a respectively, in engagement, and the device then thrust down into the notches of the other two uprights.

The operator will take the' paper from the l This will stretch the pa er tautly enough on the writing support, an as the auditor turns thehandle the aper will be drawn at whatever speed he esires onto the drum.

In removing the roll after checking, the rewind device is lifted out of lace, the removable disk and collar sli peg oi, and the paper with it, whereupon t e paper may be :et away, or destro ed as the case may be.

As was noted t e particular ty e of rewind drum is valuable in the rewinding of pager strips generally, and I have 4illustrated in y igure 5 a fragmentary view slrowing its use in a particular type of power rewind used by me in manifolding machines.

In this view I have indicated the side frame V parts of a manifolding machine at 30, 31. In

the frame or wallI 31 is a stud 32, having a threaded interior. To be located over this stud is a friction disk 33, which is revolved by the power employed in the manifolding machine for issue of thepaper strips that are to be delivered. The disk has a stud 34` thereon for'driving the drum. y A spindle 35 is used for mounting the entire device in place, and is thrust through the drum, and plugs and into the stud 36, where it is screwed home. The plug 36 corresponding to the plug 12, has a central hole for the spindle 35. The plug 37 corresponding to the plug 13 has a like central hole, and the spindle is inserted from the outside of the frame at 31. In order to drive the drum, the plug 36 has a notch in its periphery, which is indicated at a disk on one end of said 38, into which the stud 34 on the friction disk is caused to engage.

The operations of the removable end disk, and the presence of the large diameter disks revolving at the ends of the drum are a decided advantage in a manifolding register,

novelty of which will be s et forth in the claims that follow.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is 1. A rewind element com rising a drum,

rum, means detachably engaging one end of the drum for driving the same, a removable disk at the other end of the drum from the first disk, and

-means for keying the said removable disk onto the drum so as to revolve therewith.

2. A' rewind element comprising a drum, a disk on one end of said drum, means detachably engaging one end of the drum for driving the same, a removable disk at the other end of the drum from the first disk, and means for keying the said removable disk onto'the drum so as to revolve therewith, and a paper engaging rod mounted on the removable disk. y

3. A rewind element comprising a drum, having reduced ends, means detachabl engaging one of said reduced ends for driving the drum,l a disk non-rotatably mounted over said reduced end, a removable disk mounted over the other reducedend, and means for keyin vsaid disk to the said end, for the purpose escribed.`

4. A rewind element comprising a hollow drum, plugs inserted into the ends of the drum, non-rotatably, means detachabl engaging one of said lugs to drive the rum, a disk set non-rotata 1y over one of the plugs, and a disk set removably over the other plug, and interengaging means upon said second disk and the'other plug so that said second disk alsorevolves with the drum.
